or anything else ??
I didn't understand this ? are you using something like nm ??

Should be... but by any chance are you relying the library to be

present in a particular path ?? If that's the case it is not going to

Thanks -
Manish
I am using this particular line:
AC_CHECK_LIB(xml2,xmlParseFile,,AC_MSG_ERROR(oops! no function xmlParseFile function in xml?!?),) in my configure.in for autoconf
The use of macro is
AC_CHECK_LIB : Checks whether a function exists in the given library (library names without the leading lib, e.g., for libxml, use just xml here)
It seems that it is not path dependant.
